Khan took a ton of flack for taking his time with the pick.  He did his due diligence but in the end he got his guy.   Good Job Shad!   I often Clown on Shad and admit he is a bad owner but this maybe a start of changing my mind.

I agree he wound up making a good hire, and possibly made even better if he brings Spielman aboard.

I believe Khan wanted a more deliberate approach on some level, but I don't believe for one minute that this is what he had in mind.

I believe this search took a lot longer than it should have because of Baalke, and the length of time almost yielded catastrophic results.

Risch Bisaccia would have been a good hre for the Raiders.  Given all of the adversity they went through this year with the Gruden firing and the loss of their two first round picks due to legal troubles, the Raiders could have rolled over and withered.  But under Bisaccia, they didn't quit.  They rallied and made the playoffs under him, and he deserves credit for that. 

but he established credibility with the team by working with them for years.

But he wasn't tasked with developing any QB.  They had Carr on the team.  They also had vets.

He would have been a disaster here though.  He'd be starting from scratch...tasked with developing Trevor Lawrence, working with a young team in a dysfunctional front office with a loss weary fan base.

Had Pederson taken another position (the Saints, for example), this search would not have been so successful especially since BL removed his name from consideration.

As it stands now, he made a good hire, but put the team behind schedule in terms of assembling a staff and getting a start on the Senior Bowl scouting, film study of the players on the team, etc.

Khan succeeded, yes.  But he did so in spite of himself.
